The Enemy frontman Tom Clarke has hit out at Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts.

The singer was furious to learn that Potts' debut album One Chance looks set to knock his band's We'll Live And Die In These Towns from the top of the UK chart this week.

"I've just heard that we are about to be knocked off Number One by that fat bloke from Britain's Got Talent. It's a f***ing disgrace," Tom told the Sunday Mirror. "Nobody will know who this bloke is this time next year. If he thinks he is going be making music in a year's time then he has another thing coming.

"People who win talent shows have a habit of disappearing. They make one hit album, do a wave of promotion - and then it's on to the next big thing. I doubt he will make that much money out of it. It's a set-up. I don't know anybody stupid enough to go on a music reality show."
